Find the probability that a guitarist selected at random is also a pianist.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{3}{5}$ ##
Given, $n(\text{pianist} \cap \text{guitarist}) = 33$, $n(\text{guitarist}) = 55$
Finds the probability that a guitarist selected at random is also a pianist as:
$P(\text{pianist} | \text{guitarist}) = \frac{P(\text{pianist} \cap \text{guitarist})}{P(\text{guitarist})}$
$= \frac{33}{55} = \frac{3}{5}$
